CHAPTER 114: SO MUCH HATE

last update Last Updated: 2023-05-09 15:22:30

Naya’s POV

I couldn't believe what had just happened. One moment, we were all sitting at the diner, laughing and chatting away, and the next, Nelson tried to convince my personal maid to poison me. What did I ever do to him? Why did he have to hate me so much? Sometimes, people just die without knowing that they are falling for a trap. The trap in my case was the one that Nelson set for me. But, I was lucky that the maid didn’t let it happen.

Soon enough, Talon called Eric and he was in the house in no time. Eric slapped Nelson across the face when Talon narrated everything to him. The sound of the slap echoed through the room, and everyone fell silent.

I was in shock, my eyes wide as I stared at Eric. Eric didn't say anything, just stood there with his jaw clenched. Nelson, on the other hand, looked stunned. He put a hand to his cheek, which was now red and stinging.Talon immediately went into action, trying to calm me down. "Hey, it's okay," he said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I don’t think this is working anymore. I think it’s best we just split, you know?”His words wafted through my earlobes, mixing together with whatever it is words mix with, then settling in my brain at a pace that’s too fast. Just too fast. I blinked. I blinked again. With a violent shake of the head, I blinked my brain into functioning again. What? Not very attractive? Ugly?“Huh?" My heart ached.Gale, my boyfriend of 3 years, stared at me hard, his mouth opening and closing as though he was a baby. Pain flashed through his warm brown eyes before he cast them to the ground.It was at that moment that his words hit harder than I’d expected. I waited though, waited for him tell me it was a stupid joke, the most expensive one ever.However, the punchline never came. “Look, I've been able to keep up with it

    NAYA’S POV:Cool air slapped over my skin, forcing me to relax onto this soft thing my body was on. Cindy must have taken me home. This feels softer than my bed, though, I thought, as I stretched. Maybe I was in her room.With a little twist of the body, I felt the blanket on my body slip off, allowing the wind to graze my skin more. Needing reassurance of where I ended up for the night, I pulled my eyes apart and immediately cussed for making such a foolish mistake. The dim light of the room I was lying in stung my eyes with such vehemence that had me shutting them almost immediately, a groan escaping from my lips.As though summoned by the sight of light, a headache like never before sank into all the parts of my head, forcing me to twist and turn and-I hadn't noticed it because I thought I might have been in my room but now with the headache, inability to open my eyes and the air, it settles.I was stark naked.Placing one tender hand over my chest, my head went blank — headache

Whatever thought I was thinking, it was just the night sky laced with droplets of stars I had been looking at.“Hey."My gaze focused on the face of a man who was standing incredibly close to me. A stranger standing too close.“I'm relieved you're awake. Here, let me help you up," he said, placing one firm hand on my shoulder, the other wrapping around the upper of my back, and in seconds, he was lifting me up.My first thought as I stood on ginger feet after he got me up was, “That's quite impressive. You must have done this a number of times." The second was, “Who are you? And why were you standing close?"He heard me.“Pardon me for the awkward position. My name is Manuel.

    TALON'S P.O.VMy assistant, Manuel, could be such a shithead some days and today was one of those days. I couldn’t believe the idiot hit a lady while on the way and she passed out. Now, he was calling me while I was working, probably trying to give me an update about the lady. Growling angrily under my breath, I snatched my ringing phone up to answer the call, “What?” I snapped. “We are at the hospital, sir,” he replied briskly, not put off by the obvious anger in my voice. “How is she?” I asked. “She’s fine, sir,” he answered, calmly. His calm attitude was getting on my nerves. “I didn’t hit her. She passed out from the shock and sustained just a minor injury which the nurses are taking care of.”“Very good. Make sure everything is settled before coming back here. Is that clear?” I demanded. “Of course, sir.”I paused at his tone, a frown etched on my forehead as I observed how hideous he sounded. I would have asked him what was wrong, but it was none of my business. I was his e

My breath came out in short, loud pants and my entire frame was shaking with fury. My hands were clenched into a tight fist as I glared at my phone that was now on the car floor.What the hell? How could she just wake up on the day we are supposed to get married and turn down the offer? I had placed my hopes on this! As a matter of fact, I already paid her half the price and I was going to pay her the remaining half after our agreement was completed and now, she’s just backing out? What am I going to do now? I already had so much hope riding on this! The plan was to get married to her, introduce her to my father as my wife, get my inheritance and divorce her after sometime. Now, I had to start searching for a replacement? I had to get married to someone one way or another. Not getting married means forfeiting my i

    Talon's POVThe maid who was supposed to bring extra food for Naya was delaying and I wasn’t finding it funny. Why was she taking so much time? Worse still, Nelson was in the kitchen with her. I didn’t want to think that Nelson was up to something bad. I didn’t think that way because I believed that he wouldn’t want to harm me in my own house. But, as time went on, Naya grew more and more impatient, and I could no longer try to calm her down. She just needed to be given food. She couldn't control the anger she was feeling inside. "Where is the maid? I'm starving. It's been an hour since she said she would bring me food,” Naya said in frustration.I got up from the couch and walked towards the dining room, curious to see what was going on. As I tried to enterthe kitchen, I saw the maid standing nervously by the door. She had a tray of food in her hands, but she seemed reluctant to bring it to Naya."Naya, the maid is here with your food," I said, trying to ease the tension in the ro

I knew it was a little unconventional, but I wanted to show her how much I loved her and how committed I was to our relationship. Naya’s POVWe watched a movie together.

But the conversation took a strange turn, and before I knew it, we were discussing Talon and his ongoing property dispute with his brother.When Nelson arrived, I could see the guilt in his eyes. He knew that he had let his down, and he didn't know how to make things right. That was my own version of the look I saw on his face. I asked him why he hadn't been there for me when I needed him the most, and he told me that he was afraid of making things worse. I was taken aback by his response. I had never thought that Nelson was the kind of person who would be afraid of confronting his problems head-on. But I could see that he was genuinely sorry for his behavior, and I decided to forgive him.I couldn't help but feel frustrated and confused about why Talon was still fighting with his brother, even though he had already won the property.
